The New Orleans Saints organization is reeling in shock and grief today, as star running back Alvin Kamara has suffered the unthinkable loss of his 5-year-old brother, Elijah. The tragic accident occurred on Tuesday evening, when Elijah was struck and killed by a vehicle in a pedestrian crossing in his hometown of Houston, Texas.
Kamara, who has been one of the Saints’ most consistent and dynamic players since being drafted in 2017, is said to be devastated by the loss of his younger brother. The 27-year-old running back has been a fan favorite in New Orleans, known for his electrifying plays on the field and his kind heart off the field.
“I’m still trying to process this,” said Kamara in a statement released by the Saints. “Elijah was my everything. He was my little brother, my best friend, my confidant. He was taken from me far too soon. I’m going to miss him every day for the rest of my life.”
The entire Saints organization is sending their condolences to Kamara and his family during this incredibly difficult time. “Alvin is like family to us here,” said Saints head coach Sean Payton. “He’s an incredible young man, and we’re heartbroken for him and his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this incredibly difficult time.”
The news has sent shockwaves through the NFL community, with players and coaches from around the league taking to social media to offer their condolences to Kamara and his family. “Praying for @A_kamara6 and his family during this tough time,” tweeted Saints quarterback Drew Brees. “You’re not alone, Alvin. We’re all here for you.”
As the Saints prepare to face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Kamara will undoubtedly be feeling the weight of his loss on the field. But he will not be alone, as his teammates and coaches will be there to support him every step of the way.
